I have finally located the correct color purple and the correct color gold for this ready-to-wear dress. It took me ages to get my supplier to have the right shades...but they are here! Updates on the embroidered panels will appear here in the next weeks!
This design is planned to be a ready-to-wear dress soon. I am currently finishing up the fabric choices. The black swirl fabric is a beautiful overlay with holo gold sewn sequins. The gold/lilac bits are a gold brocade and the light yellow a gold raised foil.
The sleeves might be changed. The lining is also not yet decided. The embroidery will be in gold and lilac and black.( You can click on the images to get a more detailed view)

My name is Caroline Vermeulen. I started to make irish dance dresses some years ago when a friend asked me for help with embroidering her dress. Today, I run a small dressmaking business called Lowland Design. I make custom costumes and ready-to-wear dresses. This blog is dedicated to show my work to others. I hope you enjoy.
